what do i need here ?

(RIP) Kaister · Oct 24, 2011

I've taken off the 20lb BBQ grill that maquerades as some sort of Rack .

Trouble it its connecting half the rear end to the frame.

If i source a u shaped thingy that joins the rear frame tubes up , does it have the brackety thing on to join to the strips up either side of the guard ?

I've also noticed the previous clown has fitted lowering brackets to the rear shocks. This explains why i kept dragging the frame around corners

Trouble is - the bracket forms part of the rear belt adjuster plate - surely its not std ??

My glide is stripped back and the "U Shaped" thingy does bring all the elements together at the back end... it also includes the number plate hanger.......at lunch i'll try and get some photies for you.... although i still have my panniers on!....so may not be clear

The standard one looks like this:-

I keep scanning eBay here but can't find any :blast

I was thinking of getting one of these, part 15668 here looks cool as it angles the plate forward and follows the line of the bike more:-

so if you get one of these - couldn't you just use those rubber P clip thingy's to angle the plate round a bit ?

Was it fitted when you brought her or did you source it?
